Hi! I’m Andrea, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Carnegie Science, where I investigate how climate change is reshaping the future of global water resources — from the snow-covered Alps to the cropped fields of irrigated agriculture.

I earned my PhD in Earth Sciences at the University of Milan, focusing on the numerical modeling of the hydrological cycle in alpine environments. Before that, I tackled springs, floods, groundwater, snowpack, and karst systems — basically anything that flows, melts, or seeps through rocks! Along the way, I collected two other degrees (BSc + MSc), a lot of rain and groundwater samples, and way too many R and Python scripts.

Over the past few years, I’ve worked across Italy, Cyprus, Spain, and now the US, combining hydrogeology, climate science, and water management. My research spans isotopic and hydrochemical analysis, streamflow projections, and bias correction techniques — all aimed at understanding how we can better manage water in a changing world.

When I’m not building hydrological models or downscaling climate projections, you’ll probably find me outdoors running, hiking, playing soccer, or climbing up something that looks like a bad idea.

I believe that water science should serve both people and ecosystems — and I’m passionate about building solutions that are as scientifically sound as they are sustainable.
